God Defend New Zealand Lyrics - Hayley Westenra

God of nations at thy feet 

In the bonds of love we meet 

Hear our voices, we entreat 

God defend our free land 

Guard Pacific's triple star 

From the shafts of strife and war 

Make her praises heard afar 

God defend New Zealand 

E Ihoa Atua 

O nga Iwi! Matoura 

Ata whakarongona 

Me aroha roa 

Kia hua ko te pai 

Kia tau to atawhai 

Manaakitia mai 

Aotearoa

Men of every creed and race 

Gather here before thy face 

Asking thee to bless this place 

God defend our free land 

From dissension, envy, hate 

And corruption guard our state 

Make our country good and great 

God defend New Zealand
